My washing machine will not agitate. What could be the problem?
May 05, 2006 by island_joe2002 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
It is a Kenmore 80 series washer. It fills with soda water and the motor starts, but the "tub" will not agitate or spin. The washer is long out of warranty. I'm trying to elect whether to get a new one or try to fix it.
Could be the zone if it's belt-driven. A service call will cost you around $100 or so plus the part, about the cost of a new one's delivery and hook up. If you like it and it cleans well, get it determined.

balk under neath to see if the belt is off the pulley or if it is broken...try and see if the agitator spindle on the in side of the drum is pushed down on the spindle arm...upstanding luck

Sounds like the cincture to me too...We had that problem at one time and ended up being the belt, its not the cost of the belt that kills you its the cost of the repair man!!!!

most liable to the belt is broken

If it's an older washer then it's possibly the belt, but if it's newer, there are shipping bolts that keep it from spinning and sometimes the delivery guys forget to take them off.

you have a thrash sing broken that is usually due to age and the build up of hard water stains inside the drum. Usually it is easier and cheaper to get a new one than to have someone take a look at it. The introductory cost to come to your home is around $85 and

The machine works, but when it's starts agitating, the mean part goes in one direction causing the clothes to wrap around. What's the problem?
diminish of the agitator and see if there is anything stuck if not make sure you re tighten good .. that should help

My washing machine will not agitate or spin. It will drain but makes a humming noise. Can some one help me?

It is positively new and drains but no agitating or spinning.
The hit is either broken or it slipped off. Not that expensive to fix.

Older Kenmore Washer Does Not Agitate or Spin
My washer, also 10 years old, released from agitating. I called the patch up man in our metropolis, who took about 15 minutes and one measly part to fix it. I doubt that you be in want of a new machine. My fettle bill was about $100 and merit every penny. Call a state maintenance. This is obviously a very run-of-the-mill unruly, as my amenities guy diagnosed the refractory over the phone, has specialized skimpy connivingly made tools for the job, and had the factor unalterable in a jiffy. Even if you lack a new motor, it is still cheaper than a new machine.

RE: Older Kenmore Washer Does Not Agitate or Pivot Could be the forwarding/gears. I'd say it's chance to part with your machine. I had a GE, which the supply told me was a mid scale machine when I bought it and could foresee 10 yrs from it. I wore it to finish, died at 10 years, bought another, wore it out with 2-3 loads a day for 10 years, and sense I got my prosperous's importance and then some.
